“Easy process and well organized. Outcome: our board became more “outward looking” changing, perspective.”

“Easy process and well organized. Outcome: our board became more “outward looking” changing, perspective. Scott’s wide experience and input both reinforced and allowed us to reflect on other opportunities; helping us to think differently and consider actions we were not sure about or had not considered. Overall the experience was a big gain and value for money and the wins keep happening as we move forward with renewed vigour as a Board.”

“I met Scott Butterfield about 15 years ago while I was in a Senior Management position at my previous credit union. I always felt that if I was fortunate enough to get a CEO position, I would turn to Scott for his expertise and guidance to help me.”

“I met Scott Butterfield about 15 years ago while I was in a Senior Management position at my previous credit union. I always felt that if I was fortunate enough to get a CEO position, I would turn to Scott for his expertise and guidance to help me. That opportunity came and for the past 3 years, Scott and his team at YCUP has been a fantastic partner to help us strategically through these challenging times. Being that the first two years of our strategic planning workshops were held virtually, Scott was flexible to accommodate the different time zone we are in. Despite the remote planning, Scott was able to engage with our Board and Senior Management. When we were finally able to have our planning session in-person, our Board of Directors were so comfortable with Scott even commenting that the time spent went really fast and it was one of the best planning sessions they ever had. Scott understands the uniqueness of the market in Hawaii and was able to integrate it into our planning session. Additionally, he has experience of working in various areas of the credit union which lends credibility to the discussions. Scott has many contacts in the credit union industry which he has put our credit union in touch with to help us with our initiatives. We look forward to our continued partnership with Scott and the YCUP team as we navigate our way through very challenging times.”
